Hulkenberg podium reaction 'overwhelming' as Sauber eyes more points
Kick Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg has shared his "overwhelming" experience following his maiden Formula 1 podium at the British Grand Prix. In his 239th start, Hulkenberg remarkably clinched a podium finish, surviving changeable weather and late pressure from Lewis Hamilton.
He revealed receiving over 700 messages, taking a week to process the flood of well wishes. The German also visited Sauber's factory to celebrate the historic moment with the team.
